La convocation indique les tantièmes et la quote-part.

Not exactly. In French, une convocation often means a notice, summons, or official notice to attend something, especially a meeting or administrative event.

So in this kind of sentence, la convocation is likely the document sent to people before a meeting, not an academic ceremony. That makes it a bit of a false friend for English speakers.

Indique is the present indicative form of the verb indiquer.

Here it is:

• indiquer = to indicate, state, show
• indique = indicates / states / shows

It is third person singular because the subject is la convocation, which is singular.

So:

• La convocation indique = The notice states / indicates

Because French verbs agree with the subject, not with the things that come after the verb.

In this sentence:

• La convocation = subject
• indique = verb
• les tantièmes et la quote-part = direct object

Since la convocation is singular, the verb is singular: indique.

The fact that the document mentions two items does not change the verb form.

French uses articles more often than English does.

Here:

• la convocation = the notice
• les tantièmes = the shares / thousandths
• la quote-part = the share / proportion

The definite articles are used because the sentence is talking about specific information that appears on the document, not just any random amounts or shares.

So French naturally says:

• the notice indicates the tantièmes and the quote-part

Even if English might sometimes sound lighter without repeating the, French strongly prefers the articles here.

Because French usually repeats the article before each noun when they are separate items, especially when the nouns differ in number or gender.

Here you have:

• les tantièmes = plural
• la quote-part = singular feminine

So repeating the article is the normal and natural structure:

• les tantièmes et la quote-part

That is much more standard than trying to share one article across both nouns.

Tantièmes is a masculine plural noun.

Its singular form is:

• un tantième

Its plural form is:

• des tantièmes
• or with the definite article, les tantièmes

In property or co-ownership contexts, tantièmes often refers to the proportional shares attached to a lot or apartment, often expressed as thousandths.

So grammatically:

• gender: masculine
• number here: plural

Quote-part is a fixed noun in French, and it is normally written with a hyphen.

Its gender is feminine:

• la quote-part

It means a share, portion, or proportional part. In legal, financial, or property contexts, it refers to the portion assigned to someone or something.

So in this sentence:

• la quote-part is a singular feminine noun
• the hyphen is just part of the standard spelling

It can often be translated several ways depending on context.

In administrative or legal documents, indiquer may mean:

• to indicate
• to state
• to show
• to specify
• sometimes to list

So in this sentence, indique could naturally be understood as:

• states
• shows
• specifies

Even if the basic dictionary meaning is indicate, the most natural English translation may vary.

Yes. This sentence follows a very familiar subject + verb + object pattern.

Structure:

• La convocation = subject
• indique = verb
• les tantièmes et la quote-part = object

So the sentence is built in a way that feels quite close to English:

• The notice states the tantièmes and the quote-part

That makes the grammar of the sentence relatively straightforward, even if the vocabulary is specialized.

A simple English-friendly approximation is:

la kon-vo-ka-syon an-deek lay tan-tyem ay la kot-par

A few useful pronunciation notes:

• convocation has a nasal vowel in French, especially in the con-
• indique sounds roughly like an-deek
• les sounds like lay
• tantièmes sounds roughly like tan-tyem
• et usually sounds like ay
• quote-part is roughly kot-par

A more French-style pronunciation would be close to:

la kɔ̃-vɔ-ka-sjɔ̃ ɛ̃-dik le tɑ̃-tjɛm e la kɔt-paʁ
